Report says Walter Reed fixes lagging
WASHINGTON – More than half a year after disclosures of systemic problems at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and other military hospitals, the Pentagon's promised fixes are threatened by staff shortages and uncertainty about how best to improve long-term care for wounded troops, according to a congressional report issued Wednesday.
Army units developed to shepherd recovering soldiers lack enough nurses and social workers, and proposals to streamline the military's disability evaluation system and to provide "recovery coordinators" are behind schedule, according to the Government Accountability Office report.
Members of a congressional oversight committee, discussing the report at a hearing Wednesday, said the effort to reform the medical bureaucracy has itself become mired in bureaucracy.
"After so many promises but so little progress, we need to see more concrete results," said Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., the ranking Republican on the panel, who said his staff hears "appalling stories" every week from soldiers dealing with the disability process. "They're trapped in a system they don't understand and that doesn't understand them," he added.
"The pace of change is frustratingly slow," added Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the oversight committee. "Still the horror stories continue."

Respond to Review of Nitally's Thai-Mex Cuisine
by beticita
Review: I was in the area on a road trip for my birthday. We were very hungry and I had the info about the restaurant from this website. I was not disappointed!..the food was amazing. We had the gold tofu, which was deep fried tofu with an amazing peanut sauce!. then we had the tofu with vegetables and curry, coconut sauce, with jasmine rice...it was outstanding!..the veggies were crunchy ,the tofu texture perfect and the sauce was extremely tasty and good. The owner approach our table and he was very friendly and very informative ,I gladly found out that they keep the utensils they use for regular food with meat, separated from the ones they use for vegan dishes. The customer service was also the best..friendly and informative and fast!..they recommend us very good Thai drink options and reassure me that everything we were eating was vegan. The owner is from Mexico and his wife from Thailand..the results? an unusual excellent fusion or blend of Thai-Mex that works and it is delicious. I need to say that the decor was also nice, whimsical and charming! Updated from previous review on Friday February 25, 2011 Updated from previous review on Friday February 25, 2011

text: My point isn't that these were all terrible mistakes, although some of them may have been. It's that these strategic moves would look very different if Obama was on the verge of losing, while McCain would be garnering praise for, say, throwing himself into the bailout negotiations and rolling the dice with Palin. When a candidate is winning, the media treat his tactical decisions as sheer brilliance. When a candidate is faltering, not so much.Do you see how much sense that makes? When a candidate is winning, the media makes the campaign look competent and smart! When a candidate is losing, the media keeps talking about the campaign's mistakes! It's almost like the media is biased against tactics that don't work? For some reason, things that get results are better than things that don't! Crazy!

I've developed a bunch of odd habits in the DR. I'm sure some of them are not "the best way" but they have become routine and that makes them useful. Like my eyes always go to the paper boxes before I open the door or turn on the light. My system of keeping track of how much paper has gone through the current batch of fixer would probably be undecipherable to anyone else, but it works and now it's habit. Some might be bad habits though... I don't let my test strips "dry down" and try to guess about that part and sometimes I miss.
I wonder if your base exposure is an even number, if it might be easier/quicker to think about D&B in terms of stops?

Celebrate American Heart Month by Shopping Smart for Your Heart
CHICAGO, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Now is a good time to stock your kitchen with ingredients that will help you weather tough economic times and stick with healthy New Year resolutions. The following heart-smart ingredients are all less than $1 per serving, free of artificial trans fat and relatively low in saturated fat, while offering important nutrients. They are also widely available. Combine several of these ingredients to get a range of nutritious and delicious meals.
"Cooking at home is one of best ways to save money and ensure healthy choices," says Janet Evans, CanolaInfo spokeswoman for American Heart Month, mother and four-time Olympic gold medalist. "I use the following ingredients to make simple, delicious meals for my family."
1. Pour Your Heart into Canola Oil
Canola oil is the perfect base for any dish. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized a qualified health claim that 1.5 tablespoons of canola oil per day may help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.(1) Canola oil is free of trans fat and has the least saturated fat and the most omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) of all common cooking oils.
2. Pulse for Health
Pulse crops, such as lentils and dry beans (e.g., black and red kidney beans), contain nutrients found in both vegetable and meat food groups, including significant protein, fiber, folate, iron and other minerals. Lentils and dry beans are naturally low in fat, calories, sodium and sugar and cholesterol-free.
3. Best Cluck for Your Buck
Both the chicken and the egg come first regarding nutrition. A skinless chicken breast has roughly 24 grams of complete protein and less than 1 gram of saturated fat. One egg has 13 essential nutrients, including protein, folate, choline, iron and zinc, for only 75 calories.

Tier 4 Dependant Visas
Who can bring dependants to the UK?
You can bring your husband, wife, unmarried partner, and children (under 18) to the UK with you if you are studying a postgraduate course of 12 months or more. If you are a government-sponsored student and studying a course at any level of 6 months or more, you can also bring your dependants to the UK. More information can be found on the UKCISA website.
You cannot bring other family members such as parents or siblings to the UK with you as your dependants, although they can come for short visits on Visitor visas.
What documents are required to apply for a Tier 4 Dependant visa?
- Application form:
- Applying in the UK: PBS Dependant online form
- Applying outside the UK: Tier 4 Dependant online form (When asked to 'Select Visa Type', you should select: 'Reason for Visit' = 'Study', 'Visa Type' = 'PBS Tier 4 Student', 'Visa Sub Type' = 'Tier 4 (General) Dependant Partner' or 'Tier 4 (General) Dependant Child')
- Application fees:
- Applying in the UK: £439 by post or £839 in person + £150 per year for health surcharge. Please read our Immigration Health Surcharge FAQs.
- Applying outside the UK: £322 in local currency + £150 per year for health surcharge
- Passport(s): You should submit any passports that you have ever used to enter the UK.
- 2 photographs: UK passport size photos taken within the last month
- Bank statements: Each dependant must show at least £5,535 or £1,230 if you qualify for the 'Reduced Maintenance' (£7,605 from 12 November 2015) in a bank account in their name or the student's name. This money must remain in your bank account for at least 1 month before you apply. Your bank statement must be dated within the last month. It is extremely important that you do not drop below this total amount even for one day or your visa will be refused. If you are not sure, it is essential that you check with the International Student Advice team before making your visa application.
- Sponsor letter: If the student is sponsored by a government, an international company or a scholarship agency and their sponsorship cover their dependants, this must be clearly stated on the student's sponsor letter. Check to make sure that the sponsorship provides living expenses of at least £615 per month (£845 from 12 November 2015) for each dependant. If the sponsorship does not cover this amount, dependants will need to show the remainder in a bank account.
- Police Registration certificates: If the dependant is already in UK, and is required to register with the police, you must submit an up-to-date police registration certificate including current visa status and address with your visa extension application.
- Proof of address: If the dependent child is over the age of 16, they need to show two extra documents dated in the last month to confirm the dependant's residential address.
- Proof of relationship: This is only a requirement for dependants applying for entry clearance from outside the UK. These dependants must show proof of relationship to the student such as marriage certificates and birth certificates.
If dependants are applying from outside the UK at a different time from the student, they should also provide:
- Proof of student's visa status: Copies of the student's Tier 4 visa and passport details pages.
- Proof of student's enrolment: A Student Status letter from the Student Centre confirming that the student is currently enrolled at the University.
Children born while you are in the UK
Birth in the UK does not automatically make a baby a British citizen. If you have a baby born in the UK who does not yet have immigration permission, the baby is in the UK lawfully without any immigration permission. However, the baby will need immigration permission to re-enter the UK after any travel abroad. Babies can apply for immigration permission as your dependant from either inside the UK or as entry clearance from your country of residence if you are government-sponsored on a course of more than six months OR you are on a postgraduate course of at least 12 months.
If you want them to make an application from inside the UK, they can do it using an online form. If you are applying at the same time as them, you will be listed on the form as the 'lead applicant' and they will be listed on the form as a 'dependant'. If you are not applying at the same time as them, they will be listed on the form as the 'lead applicant'.
Babies can apply for entry clearance as your dependant in the following circumstances:
- the baby is born during your most recent period of Tier 4 or pre-Tier 4 student permission granted for a course of more than 6 months duration OR
- the baby is born within three months of the expiry of your most recent Tier 4 or pre-Tier 4 student permission.

Excruciating loss to Ghana in 2010 World Cup still haunts Team USA
Jun 10, 2014 at 9:15p ET
Michael Bradley remembers the game well. He remembers almost everything about it. How could he not? It was the game that knocked the Americans from the 2010 World Cup, when Ghana's Asamoah Gyan slithered through two defenders in pursuit of a high ball, caught up with it and rocketed the half-volley winner over Tim Howard's outstretched arms and in during extra time.
"I remember quite a bit," said Bradley, the now-26-year-old midfield metronome. "It was a game where we found ourselves down early but the response was good. And for a majority of that game we were the ones in control and pushing things and looking to get back to 1-1. Once we did get back to 1-1, we were still pushing for a winner."
He recalled all this at a press conference here on Tuesday, a few hours after head coach Jurgen Klinsmann became the last team member to arrive in Brazil, having scouted Ghana-Korea Republic in Miami on Monday night. And he did so knowing, of course, that the team that bounced the Americans from the last World Cup will be the first team they face at this World Cup.
Now that all of Team USA has settled into their base camp here, they have started to think seriously about the challenges ahead. All is now geared towards their opener in Natal on June 16. After a light workout on Monday, the Americans would practice twice on Tuesday, making use of Sao Paulo FC's lavish training facilities and its sleeping quarters between the two sessions.
The outcome of the USA's tournament could well pivot on their opener: after they play Ghana, the Americans face Portugal and Germany, and only two of four advance to the knockout stages. "In a big tournament like this, everybody goes into the first game with the idea that you want points," Bradley said. "Everybody starts at zero. The first game is so important. Statistically, the chances of advancing go way up if you're able to get a point or three from the first game. And so we've certainly made no secret that all the focus at this point is about Ghana. A good result puts us in a really good spot."
This isn't the same Ghana that they faced in their last World Cup game, exactly. Some argue that they're past their peak; others that they're deeper now. Either way, they are changed. "We have to understand what they're all about," said Bradley. "I do think it's a different team, with a different coach, than we played in 2010. The details are still to be seen how they approach the game against us."
But then Klinsmann's USA, and Bradley in particular, are different as well. He is now surely the Americans' most indispensable player, with his defensive cover and distribution and attacking contributions. Since the last Ghana game, he has played another half-season in Germany, a few months in England, two seasons in Italy and a few months back in MLS. Through it all, he entered what will probably prove to be his prime.
"As you get older, you mature and start to understand the game at an even higher level," said Bradley. "You have the experience of having been in certain situations, of having played in different types of games. And the hope is always that as you get older, the better you get. I feel like I'm a more complete player; I feel like I'm a better player."
But how these teams stack up right now is hard to say. The USA came into fine form over their three stateside warm-up friendlies, beating Azerbaijan, Turkey and Nigeria. Ghana pummeled Korea Republic 4-0 in front of Klinsmann on Monday, but looked flat against the Netherlands in a 1-0 loss on May 31. Gleaning significant meaning is tricky. âIn general, I think it's hard to take much from any of these warm-up games," said Bradley. "Teams are trying different things, different guys get put on the field in different spots."
"It'd be easy to look at the end and say, '4-0, what a performance,'" Bradley added. "But still, it's a warm-up game. Regardless of how the game went last night, we have a lot of respect for Ghana. They're a good team. We know that they're dangerous, that they can cause trouble."
If they do prove too dangerous, cause too much trouble for the Americans to handle, it could doom their campaign from the outset. That's the hard truth with a draw as tough as the Group G the Americans were dealt. And so the entire narrative on this World Cup cycle could be written off just three games, or even just one.
"That's the reality," said Bradley. "For us, the big chance comes once every four years. The work, at the end of the day, gets put to the test at the World Cup. It's such a small sample size, because there's so much that goes on in four years." Tiny tipping points will make the difference between a dream run and a disastrous campaign.
And at the end, Bradley will hope he's not left with bad memories.

Dealing with the Past
Dealing with a legacy of gross human rights violations is one of the greatest challenges facing societies in the aftermath of violent conflict. Research suggests that there is a relationship between the ability to address this legacy in a comprehensive and inclusive manner and the potential to develop sustainable peace. The swisspeace Dealing with the Past (DwP) Program supports governmental and non-governmental actors in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of DwP activities. The program provides a wide range of training opportunities and contributes to the research-policy nexus through its research projects, conferences, publications and teaching.

When's the last time you saw something and said to yourself: " What?! I can't believe my eyes?" What if you hailed a cab and learned that the cabbie was a toddler?
Weddings are great - connecting family and friends, love, and two people beginning their lives together as one. With so much going on at weddings though, it's pretty much guaranteed that something isn't going to go according to plan.
Coffee is great - gives you that little 'perk-up' you need in the morning, helps you start your day, and can even be the answer to your prayers halfway through the workday. I love my cup of coffee as much as the next person, but sometimes it's even too much for me to handle.
It's the case of the missing wallet! No, I didn't steal it... but it was given to me, to give back to the owner. I did the right thing and gave it back, but not before having a little fun.
We all rely on technology so much, and there are bound to be times when that technology lets us down, whether it's a computer freezing up, or what happened to this weatherman.
It may happen on Tuesday, or towards the end of the week, but every few weeks or so, it happens - a second Monday. It happened to me, and this is what it looked like...
It's another back to work Monday (sigh) and you're bored. To help you kill a couple of minutes during your workday, we thought we'd share with you a very entertaining video. This fail compilation is full of funny pranks, car fails and more to entertain you today.
Rich Lawrence shows us one of his hobbies, and just how much of a geek he really is!

The History Project's "oh-so-abbreviated" history of Boston Pride
Boston Pride began with a few dozen lesbians and gay men marching as part of a Vietnam War protest. Four decades later, having served as a crucible for the immense changes that have taken place since the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, it is one of the nation's largest Pride celebrations.
Love is all you need
In 1970, Boston's gay and lesbian community was represented by a brave handful of groups, including the Gay Liberation Front (GLF), Homophile Union of Boston (HUB), Daughters of Bilitis, the Student Homophile League, and Gay Women's Liberation. Boston's first gay demonstration occurred in April 1970, when a 20-person contingent marched from Cambridge Common to Boston Common as part of a Vietnam War protest carrying signs that read, "Send the Boys Home Now!"
More gatherings were planned to mark the first anniversary of Stonewall. Organized around the theme "Love is all you need," these were the first manifestations of Boston Pride. Gay men and lesbians gathered on Cambridge Common on the third Sunday in June for fun, laughter, political discussion, and support. One HUB member said this provided a rare opportunity for "gay people to be gay, all people to be people."
That August, in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Women's Suffrage, a contingent of "out" lesbians participated in a Boston march for women's rights.
"Anita Sucks Oranges!"
The first official Gay Pride march, on June 26, 1971, was a distinctly political event preceded by workshops on issues like coming out and gay spirituality. The route included four major stops: Bay Village bar Jacques, Boston police headquarters, the State House, and St. Paul's Cathedral. At each, a speaker presented a list of demands. Laura McMurry, of the Daughters of Bilitis, declared, "As gay people, we have been given a second-class citizenship. We demand an end to this now! We will not be put down any longer!"
Re-christened the "New England Gay Pride Parade," the 1974 celebration drew an estimated 1,000 participants. Closeted participants, their identities concealed under brown paper bags, marched alongside a float depicting a large lavender rhinoceros, an animal chosen because it was perceived as misunderstood. Reactions framed a debate that still echoes today: should Pride be a political rally or a street party? Some saw its "Mardi Gras" theme as emphasizing celebration at the expense of activism. Others criticized the presence of drag queens because they saw drag as either misogynist or marginalizing. This dialectic -- between political and social imperatives, identity politics and assimilation, and perceptions of gender roles -- continues to the present.
By 1977, participants swelled to 7,000, mobilized in response to Anita Bryant's anti-gay rhetoric. Bryant -- singer, fundamentalist Christian, and former Miss America runner-up -- was a spokesperson for Florida orange juice. She became a national symbol of bigotry when she led the repeal of a gay rights ordinance in Dade County. Representatives from more than 20 gay and human rights organizations, including Congressman Barney Frank and State Senator Elaine Noble, marched to increase awareness and promote gay rights legislation.
If not now, when? If not you, who?
The 1981 celebration was hailed as the largest demonstration supporting civil rights for homosexuals in the history of Boston. Organized around the slogan "If not now, when? If not you, who?", the event fell during controversy over the firing of Robin McCormack, Mayor White's liaison to the gay and lesbian community, as a result of budget cuts. After outraged activists protested outside the Parkman House, the city altered the parade route to avoid the Beacon Hill neighborhood where the protest had occurred. The city claimed an inability to provide adequate police protection and cited Charles Street merchants who argued the parade was bad for business. The parade committee obtained an injunction to preserve the original route, approved by the city months before.
The lead photo in the Boston Globe's coverage of 1983 Pride featured the AIDS Action Committee. Shock over the crisis increased attendance to 18,000. Before the march, more than 600 people attended a meeting on the effects of AIDS. At the rally, Amy Hoffman expressed sadness and anger: "In addition to the fear and horror I feel about the physical danger my gay brothers face, I'm worried about our whole community and our movement. ...We must resist the feeling that AIDS means this exploration, this path to liberation, was wrong. This feeling comes from homophobia: haven't they always told us we are sick, sinful, and disposable people?"
Fostering equality
The 1984 celebration saw the introduction of the Boston Lesbian and Gay Pride Festival, featuring refreshments, memorabilia, camel rides, and a hot-air balloon (that never got off the ground). The change did not go unnoticed. "We've already paid to be gay," Ann Holder noted in GCN, responding to the $1 admission charge. "It's a depoliticization of the whole thing, making it into a gay trade fair."

Orbitsound T12 soundbar speakers
Small, simple
Basic, no HDMI support, no visual feedback
If you don't like speakers cluttering up your room then a new UK company thinks it has the answer as it battles against Denon, Yamaha and others in the new soundbar category. So is it music to the ears? We get listening to find out.
According to the company the selling point here is that "...while other soundbars use digital tricks to mimic spatial stereo, the T12 produces natural spatial sound using airSOUND single point stereo reproduction".
What that means in reality is that the Orbitsound T12 promises to eradicate any sweet spots in the room normally created using a 5.1 system giving you the same sound wherever you are sitting.
So what do you get in the box? Well there are two parts, a rather small looking horizontal speaker and a rather large looking rectangular subwoofer that you hide behind the television out of the way.
Measuring 540 x 90 x 96mm the soundbar contains the analogue processors, amplifiers and eight loudspeakers. The subwoofer measures 225mm square, 460mm high.
The subwoofer has zero connectivity options and is powered by the main unit connected only by a standard speaker cable.
Connections on the soundbar include stereo RCA audio in, video (Composite) out, a 3.5mm stereo line-in, and the obligatory iPod dock on top so you can connect it to your hi-fi, TV, or MP3 player beyond the iPod.
Controls are virtually all by the included remote control however there are controls on the unit as well that are hidden out of the way. Around the back of the device you'll find a volume knob, power button and a three-way switch for the airSOUND technology that allows you to turn it off, have it set for normal or a wider setting.
So what does it sound like? In our tests the Orbitsound T12 works as it says producing a surprisingly loud, clear and well-balanced sound for the size of the unit, while working hard to remove those sweet spots so you get the same noise wherever you sit.
What's the catch? Well the system is incredibly basic, and while this will appeal to those looking for an easy set-up, expanding the system or allowing it to be the hub of your home cinema, isn't going to happen. There is no HDMI support or feedback to let you know that what you are doing is working. Pressing the volume button on the remote just makes the volume louder for example.
While the there are downfalls to a system like this, as we said this isn't going to be your home cinema hub and the remote is basic. But for those looking for a simple solution this should work nicely.
If you are looking for a compact speaker system because you don't want to fill your living room with boxes this is certainly worth checking out.

Snacking on the Word: 1 Peter 4:7-8
It's not in the Sunday readings this year, nor does it appear in our Isaiah-saturated daily Lectionary, but this passage from Peter's first letter fits well with the early days of Advent: The end of all things is at hand. Therefore, … Continue reading

I spend most of my time on the road either for business or pleasure. Business travel means generic hotel accommodations, so when I travel for fun, I like to meet people and experience the location I'm in. I love to use AirBnB, and will be traveling through Europe for three months making connections through this site.
